Perfect for the holiday season. Scrooge doesn’t believe he has anything to be happy about around the holidays, until the three spirits of Christmas come and change his mind.

I can’t believe it has taken me this long to read this classic, but it was a quick read and very enjoyable. Takes me back to my childhood watching the cartoons of the story.

This is a wonderful, classic story that I remember hearing versions of as a young child. The version I read was wordy and dense, but the story itself (in a more childlike version) would appeal to children.

Great classic that every kid needs to read. I learned about this for the first time in like the third grade when we did a play of it, and I loved it. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Amazon.com Audiobook Review (ISBN 0140861785, Audio Cassette)

Patrick Stewart's one-man production of Dickens's A Christmas Carol played to sold-out audiences in New York and Los Angeles. In this studio recording based on those performances, Stewart is in rare form, using his considerable range of voices to play all roles, from the Ghost of Christmas past to Tiny Tim. It must be said that Stewart clearly enjoys playing Scrooge best of all--but isn't the villain always the most compelling character? Even if you feel that "every idiot who goes about with 'Merry Christmas' on his lips should be boiled with his own pudding and buried with a stake of holly through his heart," this rendition of Dickens's classic will get you in a Yuletide mood. (Running time: 2 hours, 2 cassettes) --C.B. Delaney
